ASUS ROG Strix GL704 Scar II (RTX 2070) Hands-On

ASUS ROG Strix GL704 Scar II (RTX 2070) Hands-On

The ASUS ROG GL704 has been in the market for a while now and it is a 17-inch gaming notebook from ASUS that features a more solid and more minimalist design than its predecessors. Recently, ASUS has updated the laptop last CES 2019 at Las Vegas. Surprisingly, the company didn’t unveil a new design or a new generation to the notebook. Nonetheless, it was updated due to the upgrade of Nvidia to the RTX series which is the new generation of graphics cards.

First things first. What can we find in this notebook? well, the ASUS ROG Strix GL704 Scar II features an 8th-Gen Intel Core 8750H 6-core, 12 threads processor along with Nvidia RTX 2070 GPU and support up to 32GB of DDR2666 memory, up to 1TB SSD and 1TB SSHD.

One of the few things that we love on the ASUS ROG Strix GL704 Scar II over the previous generation is the introduction of a smaller bezel. This means that the notebook is using fewer footprints compared to the predecessor and it manages to be more compact and more portable than ever. However, the webcam of the notebook has been compromised as it is now placed below the display of the notebook. Speaking of display, the laptop features a 144Hz refresh rate with 3ms response time. And yes, we do have great colors and viewing angles on the ASUS ROG Strix GL704 Scar II.

For a 17-inch notebook, the ASUS ROG Strix GL704 Scar II was just fine as it has a 2.9kg of weight and has a thickness of 26.4mm. The top lid of the notebook still features the brushed metal finish with half cut design which represents a more minimalistic approach to gaming design and then there’s the ASUS ROG logo at the side of the notebook that lights up in RGB.

Inside, the SCAR II edition of this notebook features a more tactical design approach with a carbon fiber texture and camo design. This definitely represents that the gaming notebook is really serious when it comes to a shooter or FPS games.

Despite the more minimal bezel of the notebook, the ASUS ROG Strix GL704 Scar II does have a full-size keyboard and typing on it was really comfortable but not the best one. It will definitely do well when it comes to typing on your office document or when you’re playing. Oh and have I told you that the ASUS ROG Strix GL704 Scar II does come with ASUS AuraSync technology that allows you to sync with other ASUS Aura-Sync compatible devices and yes, we still have the light bar on the front which adds beauty to the notebook.

When it comes to I/O, the ASUS ROG GL704 Scar II does impress us as it comes with all of the ports that we need. On one side, we got the headphone jack, 3x USB 3.1 ports, HDMI, mini DisplayPort, LAN port, and DC Power jack. While on the other side, we got the SD card slot, USB 3.1 Gen2 Type-C, USB 3.1 and Kensington lock.

While we do have a short time of using the ASUS ROG Strix GL704 Scar II, we were able to try out Time Spy on the notebook and we got a score if 7116 as seen below.

For now, that’s all we have and hopefully, we can review this notebook soon. So far, we did like our first impressions on the notebook. We got a more minimal footprint and the RTX 2070 is really damn powerful.

What’s new on the Android 9 Pie update on the ASUS Zenfone 5?

Android 9.0 Pie has been out for a while and one of the smartphones that you can get right now that runs on this latest version of Android is the ASUS Zenfone 5. The smartphone might be almost a year old now but we still get updates on the smartphone and recently, the Taiwanese company has released the Android 9.0 Pie update on the smartphone. So what can we expect from the smartphone? Check it out below.

Faster Zenfone 5

The ASUS Zenfone 5 is powered by a Snapdragon 636 chipset which is still capable until now. Well, we loved the performance of the Snapdragon 636 even until today and with the Android P update on the ASUS Zenfone 5, we noticed that navigating on the smartphone is smoother and it is a lot faster than before. While the benchmarks are the same on the smartphone but the ASUS Zenfone 5 is definitely faster after the update.

Better management

Another updated features for the ASUS Zenfone 5 is the better management of battery and display. With Android Pie, the smartphone now learns your battery usage and prioritizes everything for a better allocation of energy and you can notice that the ASUS Zenfone 5 has definitely improved on that segment while the adaptive brightness lets you have automatic brightness which is according to your usage. You might not notice the latter but it is definitely helpful.

A new way to navigate

Another thing that is really noticeable on the Android P update on the ASUS Zenfone 5 is the redesign navigation system. But of course, you could still use the classic navigation bar but if you want something new and if you found it more productive you can use the new navigation system in where you can swipe up to home button, swipe up to middle for the recent apps or just slide right to check out the whole apps and of course, there’s the back button.

Personally, I find it more convenient and also more productive to have this this kind of navigation system on the smartphone.

So there we go. Those are just some of the improvements that are made available for the ASUS Zenfone 5 Android P update. So if you want to update your ASUS Zenfone 5, head over to Settings>System>System update or you can manually update your ASUS Zenfone 5 by downloading the Android P update here — https://www.asus.com/Phone/ZenFone-5-ZE620KL/HelpDesk_BIOS/
